Judge Ann Moorman reinstates bail for Gina Rae Bean while she appeals conviction

MENDOCINO Co., 2/21/22 — In early December, Gina Ray Bean was sentenced to 210 days in county jail for leaving the scene of the crash that killed Calum Hunnicutt in 2019 and scheduled to turn herself in and begin her sentence Jan. 18 — but court records show that last month Judge Ann Moorman granted a motion to reinstate Bean’s bail while defense attorney Mark Mike Kalina appeals her conviction. Bean’s surrender date was vacated, which means she remains out of custody and no new date of surrender has been set by the court. 

Hunnicutt was killed around 10:45 p.m. July 18, 2019, in a hit-and-run near the town of Mendocino’s only stoplight at the intersection of State Route 1 and Little Lake Road. Court documents stipulate that the driver entered the intersection during a green light. Hunnicutt, who was riding a skateboard, entered the intersection while running  a red light and struck the side of the vehicle. Hunnicutt died at the scene, and investigators ultimately found him to be at fault for the crash.
